Using External Wood Stain indoors.

Options
At work they have painted all wood areas in reception area with Sadolin exterior wood stain, I'm just wondering is it OK to use this product in an indoor public area?

Many Thanks for any advice xx

    Read the instructions and COSHH sheet that come with it. A general rule would be the product is good, and I rate Sadolin. But the fumes can be awful if it is the traditional high VOC product. Also ask if more coats are going to be applied. Headaches and feeling generally groggy are a typical reaction

    I am currently using Johnstones high VOC indoors for a job, and it is dreadful. The area is sealed off from other folks, warming up is being done, ventilation is thought about and the drying time and recoat is being speeded up as much as I can. But even so, it is not pleasant.

    Sadolin is fine indoors. The smells not at all bad. It takes quite a while to fully dry though.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
